I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

How are they putting our lives in danger?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Not supporting the wall? :huh:

The wall is a matter of life and death. Talk about hysteria.

The reason we don't support the wall is any objective analysis shows it will not work and it will be a waste of money.

The point is that Trump is tougher and more intransigent in dealing with his fellow Americans - who in turn represent the majority of the country - then he is when dealing with America's worst and most dangerous foes.

I get why that puts our lives in danger.

Nah, it's mostly symbolic at this point. You don't hold up the entire budget because 5 billion could be spent more efficiently.

We need to build bridges, not walls.  Walls are racist.

what if you stacked up the bridges to build a wall?

Pretty sure we have sufficient bridges across the Rio Grande already.

Sure. Symbolic that the President cannot just bully the Legislative Branch into doing whatever he wants them to do. He could have just had his own party fund his wall, but he waited until his party lost an election.

Yep. Pretty clever of them to lose all those elections to Democrats so they can blame the lack of a wall on them. 12D chess!

The main reason people oppose the wall is because the Big Tool wants it.

That's adequate.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
